Sophomore September, a month filled with various social, academic, and well-being events catered to you all as the Class of 2024, is a great way for you all to connect with various campus resources and your peers. Some events to highlight are SophoMORE Stride, Study Away fairs, and a drive-in movie plus many more! If you attend one event from each of our three categories (social, academic, and well-being), you will have the opportunity to participate in a tour of Sanford Stadium and the West End Zone. To keep track of your attendance, we ask that you complete this form for each event you attend.
It is very special to be a new student at the University of Georgia, something only a few thousand Bulldogs get to experience each year. But it is a truly unique experience to be one of the approximately 150 spring semester enrollees that began classes this January.
